Well according to the instructions from the Dr. office. This is what I am suppose to eat for the next 10 days. In reality this is about 690 calories total, so I had extra calories to play with. It wasn't so bad and in total I got through the day at 1060 calories. I was able to cut my insulin in 1/2. It will be interesting to see what happens when I have to spend 3 days out of town next week. I won't have access to a microwave, so I will really have to watch what I eat when we are out. If I stick to protein and veggies then I should be OK....just have to watch the portion sizes. :) On the plus side. I haven't had any diet coke for about 1 week. That is a true Christmas Miracle!! ;) I have been known to down massive amounts of that stuff in the past, and I never thought I would ever be free of it. Addicted to it worse than METH. I have found that when I want and need something more in my life...I am amazed at what lengths I will go to achieve the results. I sometimes amaze myself. :) I am getting super excited for this new chapter to start in my life. I cannot even begin to tell you what this gift means to me. I have fooled myself for years thinking that I could do this without any medical help. I know many people who have been successful, and to them I give them all the kudos they deserve. IT is HARD! I have lost 90#, 70#, and 120# three different times in my life, but I could never keep it off when I was working hard on my Diabetes. I am hopeful that with this surgery my Diabetes will be resolved completely. Wouldn't that be the life?? No more needles, finger sticks, tests every three months, pills, lancets, test strips, meters, worrying about my kidney's, eye sight, heart, or feet. What a life it will be.
